8. A saturated solution of Ag Croq has a silver-ion concentration of 1.3 x 10-4M. Which is the Ksp of Ag CrO 4?
O 1.3 x 10-4
O 3.9 x 10-12
O 6.5 x 10-5
O 1.1 x 10-12

Answer: The [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] of [tex]AgCrO_{4}[/tex] is [tex]1.1 \times 10^{-12}[/tex].

Explanation:

Given: [tex][Ag^{+}] = 1.3 \times 10^{-4} M[/tex]

The reaction equation will be written as follows.

[tex]Ag_{2}CrO_{4} \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^{+} + CrO^{2-}_{4}[/tex]

This shows that the concentration of [tex]CrO^{2-}_{4}[/tex] is half the concentration of [tex]Ag^{+}[/tex] ion. So,

[tex][CrO^{2-}_{4}] = \frac{1.3 \times 10^{-4}}{2}\\= 0.65 \times 10^{-4} M[/tex]

The expression for [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] of this reaction is as follows.

[tex]K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}]^{2}[CrO^{2-}_{4}][/tex]

Substitute values into the above expression as follows.

[tex]K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}]^{2}[CrO^{2-}_{4}]\\= (1.3 \times 10^{-4})^{2} \times 0.65 \times 10^{-4}\\= 1.1 \times 10^{-12}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] of [tex]AgCrO_{4}[/tex] is [tex]1.1 \times 10^{-12}[/tex].
